Any year in review type thing on Swedesplease would have to include something from Little Dragon. I’ve been absolutely in love with this group’s songs since the moment I heard them. The repost is below, but first here’s a newish video of the band performing “Twice” at a “Back Room Session”.

Let’s take a break from all this indie pop for a day. Little Dragon sent us (alright just me) a couple of songs. Even through my small but decent computer speakers (they even have a little subwoofer) the bass on “Forever” is formidable, as is lead singer Yukima’s silky smooth vocals. I’m no trip hop/nu jazz/soul/funk expert but if there’s a better track out there that represents this combination of genre’s I’d like to hear it. And if this sound is going to become commercially viable again I can’t think of a better sounding (looking) group than Little Dragon to lead the second wave.
Rumor has it the band has just been signed but get in touch with them through their MySpace band if you want to inquire further.
